  • Publication number: 20250005208
    Abstract: Techniques for improved Keccak execution resilient to physical side-channel attacks are described. In some examples, a Keccak round datapath includes a first path including a theta step, a rho step, a pi step, and an iota step to process a masked version of the 1600-bit input state, a second path including a theta step, a rho step, and a pi step to process a mask 1600-bit input state, and a masked chi step shared by the first path and second path.

  • Patent number: 11567950
    Abstract: A confidentiality preserving system and method for performing a rank-ordered search and retrieval of contents of a data collection. The system includes at least one computer system including a search and retrieval algorithm using term frequency and/or similar features for rank-ordering selective contents of the data collection, and enabling secure retrieval of the selective contents based on the rank-order. The search and retrieval algorithm includes a baseline algorithm, a partially server oriented algorithm, and/or a fully server oriented algorithm. The partially and/or fully server oriented algorithms use homomorphic and/or order preserving encryption for enabling search capability from a user other than an owner of the contents of the data collection. The confidentiality preserving method includes using term frequency for rank-ordering selective contents of the data collection, and retrieving the selective contents based on the rank-order.
